[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1027151, member: 17969"] This kind of logic is the reason why our volume is being diverted to the USPS. For those who want to come forward to claim that by accepting surepost pkgs into our system, we somehow are preventing FEDEX from taking the pkgs, but those same people either dont understand the market or just want to ignore a simple fact. FEDEX also diverts it pkgs to the USPS called Smartpost. Its the same concept. Take volume out of the system and reduce hours, drivers, use of equiptment, blah blah blah... FEDEX Smartpost is resulting in fewer fedex drivers on the road, work days cut to zero overtime and the delaying of replacement drivers. Smartpost and Surepost, is a scam on our system, and the teamsters at the National level DROPPED THE BALL on this issue and it needs to be addressed in these negotiations. This year, UPS will be dropping TRAILERS at the post office during peak, thats right, 40 foot trailers jammed packed with BOXES, not smalls, not bags, not rural deliveries. INstead, its OS2, OS3 pkgs that belong in the UPS system. UPS is deliberately attempting to reduce our delivery volume and benefit from everything that comes along with it. To say that our volume is going to FEDEX if we dont offer surepost is just dishonest. peace TOS [/QUOTE]
